  Jacques Derrida - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Their treatment of aporia was noted as an affinity.
The aporetic was a recurring structure for Derrida: Derrida strived to render as determinate as possible an interpretation, finding a series of "undecidable" decisions between a series of determinate constructions of interpretations.
The idea of aporia is carried over in other deconstructive readings - particularly those of Paul de Man, whose readings of poems were known for concluding that the poems ended in an aporia.

 Hannah Arendt [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
So for Arendt, our categories and standards of thought are always beset by their potential inadequacy with respect to that which they are called upon to judge.
However, this aporia of judgement reaches a crisis point in the 20th century under the repeated impact of its monstrous and unprecedented events.
The mass destruction of two World Wars, the development of technologies which threaten global annihilation, the rise of totalitarianism, and the murder of millions in the Nazi death camps and Stalin's purges have effectively exploded our existing standards for moral and political judgement.

 Semiotics and ontology: John Deely and John Poinsot
Relativity in this sense, precisely as infecting the whole scheme of categories of cognition-independent existents, Poinsot termed relatio secundum dici `relation according to the way being must be expressed in discourse', or (synonymously) relatio transcendentalis `transcendental relation'.
The answer to this question is ontological relation, an answer which enables Poinsot to resolve a number of aporia that have plagued accounts of signifying from ancient times down to the present, and which turn out to be decisive for °epistemology and philosophical thought generally."
